That's the spirit! :) FYI the MuWire policy on ads is described in detail here https://muwire.com/ads.txt

I block ads.

Ramble won't have ads. It's not really setup to serve them anyhow.

Hey Rambler, what is your position on ads in general? Are we going to see ads on this site some day?

Gold is less traceable than bitcoin. Bitcoin is on it's way out and gold will forever remain fairly stable.

I meant the direct link, not just the logo of Surfshark itself.

It's in the image, but good point.

I was just asking if there was a nonblog page. Anyways, I added it.

You forgot to mention the source is https://surfshark.com/global-ad-blocking

I thought Poland hated online advertising the most, but no, they're a fucking average compared to France. Oh well.

TL;DR: in regards to privacy, Starlink is... not so great.

Well, let's see what Starlink's situation is, in regards to privacy:

• Tor support - I didn't actually order Starlink, but it looks like it doesn't block Tor when I just visit the site.
• Monero acceptance - I guess it doesn't support cryptocurrency, as per Starlink Pre-Order Agreement (clear net only), paragraph two, point three.
• No personal data required for registration - I don't know where to register (I guess I would need to purchase Starlink to see), but if one of the recovery methods (clear net only) is by phone, that's already suspicious.
• Compatibility with established standards - this could apply because of built-in VPN support (OpenVPN or possibly WireGuard) and encryption of e-mails you get (PGP). In case of e-mail encryption, there's no mention of it, and in case of VPN, there's also no mention of it, and might possibly be disallowed by SpaceX.
• No Cloudflare - it looks like there's no Clownflare or some other MITM.
• As little downtime as possible - not a privacy issue, but the service actually has to be usable. Since SpaceX is so massive, I doubt downtimes are much of a problem.

So I guess just by looking at those six points, it's kind of average. But of course, this alone only tells the minimum, so let's see the privacy policy (clear net only):

• IP addresses - paragraph one, points six to seven, mention them, but they don't mention for how long the information is stored, only as to why they store them in paragraph two, point three, analytics being the reason.
• Content data - paragraph two, point one, letter five, might suggest they could watch things like messages, e-mails, search queries, to detect "fraud".
• System info - paragraph one, point six, mentions that operating system and platform, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, are collected.
• Metadata - I think that the data collected as per paragraph one, point seven, might apply to metadata.
• Interaction data - paragraph one, point six, also mentions that the interaction with their services is collected.
• Third party sharing - paragraph three, mentions that your data will be shared to their "affiliates", government, and organizations involved in business transfers.

Well, that already worsens the situation with Starlink. What about the history of SpaceX? Are they hiding skeletons in their closet? I have no idea, I would have to dig really deeply to find out. And I don't want to do that/

I don't know what do you not understand, it's just that having a PGP key added to your account not only makes the notifications encrypted, but they can also remove 2FA if you send a message about that signed with your PGP key. That's all.

All this graph tells me is that that the French are too stupid to install it successfully in one go.

Basically, if it's used to sell you something, you should be suspicious.

The repository is not about these kinds of services. It's about websites that send you email notifications or do email support using encryption/signing. For example, if ramble has a public key, they can sign every email they send you (notifications, password resets, etc.) so you can verify you are not getting phished and the email comes from them. Or if you have sensitive info to send them, you can encrypt it before sending it, regardless if you use fastmail, posteo, tutanota, protonmail, gmail or any other email service.

This also doesn't have to be limited to email communications/notifications. If a website decides to only support notifications through XMPP or any other method, it can still apply, it's just that email is the most widely adopted.

Is there a better link explaining it than this blog post? Thanks for the suggestion.

As for GitHub, I know it's owned by Microsoft but I needed git where most people have an account so they can easily contribute. Apart from being owned by Microsoft, they are not behind Cloudflare, they don't use reCaptcha and you can view the README without JavaScript.

Added it, thanks.

I'll send food back if it's made wrong, no big deal. It happens. When I was younger I worked in restaurants and have had steaks I was proud of sent back and have other food sent back that I either made incorrectly or the waitress wrote the order incorrectly.

"Shit happens".

Respect and understanding goes a long way regardless of what side of the coin you're on.

Passive aggressiveness doesn't get you what you want. You have to assert what you want before you eat it. Also, maybe pick a better restaurant.

But don't be a Karen about it.

When posting a reply to a topic, it shouldn't get marked as having one new reply, which came from yourself.

I'd like for notifications to get marked as read when either clicking on context or answering directly.

Well, all of those features would be a good thing to have, but especially rewriting submission URLs to Ramble-specific frontends for that service. By the way, the Instagram frontend is called Bibliogram. You can also add teddit (clear net only) as a Reddit frontend.

I assume this is yours, if so, you can add sr.ht, a collection of software development tools, to this (Only them to you/PGP). Also, I would recommend avoiding GitHub because it's owned by Microsoft, so you can use something else, like Codeberg (clear net only), or, well, sr.ht (clear net only).

10 years ago or more a mac engineer ported MAME to a kodak digital camera and the games were playable. (pacman, etc)
